My older dd will be starting middle school next year. She currently has an IEP for dyslexia and dyscalculia. This year she was diagnosed with complex migraines that involve word recall difficulty, difficulty speaking, visual auras, and sleepiness in the 30 min prior to getting the migraine. We have been lucky so far that she hasn't had them too frequently as they are rather debilitating for her.
We are going to have her transition IEP meeting next month with the current sped teacher and the middle school sped teacher. I think there needs to be accommodations related to her complex migraines added to her IEP and I'm looking for suggestions from others who have btdt. My concerns are potential absences or half days, and time needed to complete homework if she misses due to her migraines. What kind of requests should I make or can I make in regards to migraines for her IEP?
